I'm planning on traveling to Israel at some point or another, and I don't know the emergency services number.
What is the Israeli equivalent of the American 911, or the British 999?

This Anglo List webpage on the topic carries information on various useful contact numbers in Israel, including emergency numbers:
Note you can also use 112 to contact emergency services in many countries including Israel, in which it is callable from mobile phones only.

I think 112 is only available from mobile phones there (as mentioned in the picture as well).– RelaxedMar 29 '15 at 16:58

According to the linked wikipedia article on 112 it's availability from landlines and mobile phones is country-dependent.– JoErNanO ♦Mar 29 '15 at 17:06

2Yes, but I meant in Israel as, in the context of the question, the last sentence of your answer could imply it could be used on landline there.– RelaxedMar 29 '15 at 17:13
